In 1874 Miss Annie Mullen, being consid-
cred insane, sold Isaac Hodge house and
premises ON William street. 1t was much
out Of repair, and Hodge paid 81, 800 as pur-
chase money, which was. considered high. A
mortgage of $4,000 at per cent. interest Was
given on 1t. Hodge paid his interest regu-
larry every SIX months, Dut ne FOUND tnat the
repairs would cost 81 800 and he asked Miss
Mullen to make reduction in the mortgage,
because the latter was more than the value
Of the house. The mortgage fell due in 1883,
but Miss Mullen did nothing. She told him
later that she would deduct from the mort
gage an equal amount to the interest he had
paid to date. He agreed to this, and paid the
balance to ]. W. Dow Miss Mullen was
afterwards ad1udged insane, and Mrs. Cur
tbs, OF New York, was made her guardian.

to pay back the amount deducted, and claims
that ne TOOK advantage OF MISS Muilens cosi-
ment, and 10 is alleged that Miss Mullen's
other transactions prove that she was compe-
sent TO attend to her affairs.
